The August issue of Focus arrived today--I'm in Western NY; I hope this is the end of the subscription problems. How is it going for everyone else?

I would like to keep in touch with this forum until the subscription problems are solved. I've received my

April issue but continue to wait for the August issue, which Mr. Spivak wrote on August 17th that I would

receive "this week"; I continue to wait. I hope the distribution problems are solved, however, I will ask for a refund if I

don't receive the August issue.

I received the April issue #16 here in Western NY state and look forward to the August issue. How are others' doing with their subscriptions? I hope the mailing problems have been resolved. This is a well-done magazine.

I continue to wait for the April 2008 issue; I've seen it on the magazine rack at Borders for weeks. My other photo magazines arrive promptly, including one from England.

I'm pleased to say a copy of the February Focus arrived today.

I appreciate Mr. Spivak's comments on 2/26/08. I've subscribed to Focus for 3 years starting on 2/07 and had difficulty getting Issue 14 (I sent several emails and a letter; the issue was finally mailed by hand to me). I've sent several emails to Mr. Spivak about not receiving Issue 15 and received no response. I would like him to tell me how I can get this issue. Do I need to write a letter to him rather than an email? Will I need to do that for Issue 16? Also, I would like to know if he will refund subscription money if I choose that route--it will be much easier for me to stop at a bookstore and buy the magazine. I would appreciate Mr. Spivak's response since he hasn't responded to me by email. Thanks.

I've had similar problems getting my issues

of Focus Magazine. Currently, I'm trying to get

the Feb. 2008 issue since I've seen it in the bookstores

for the past few weeks. I've emailed the magazine

without any response from them. My next step will

be to cancel my subscription and ask for a refund,

which, given the track record with this magazine,

I might not get. I've had no problems with other

photography magazines, including one from England.

I recommend others to stay away from subscribing,

buy it on the newstand if you really want it.
